CNA course from HCC

0
Hi all, I'm currently completing my CNA course at Houston Community College and I want to know, if anyone has used this route, how long it took to find a job after you passed the certification? Was it hard finding a job as a CNA without any previous work experience? Also, was anyone able to find a job at a hospital? Any tips and suggestion would be greatly appreciated! I finish this course on May 2nd and hopefully the state exam will be within a week or two. I REALLY want to get to work as soon as possible. I plan to start my ADN in August and then go straight to BSN, but in the meantime I want to get some hands on patient care experience! Thanks in advance!
